With the 2023 NHL playoffs right around the corner, Vegas thinks the Boston Bruins have the best odds of any team to hoist the Stanley Cup.
As of Friday, Bet MGM has Boston with +350 odds to win the NHL title this year, with the Colorado Avalanche (+700), Edmonton Oilers (+900) and Toronto Maple Leafs (+900) right behind the Bruins.
Boston sits atop the NHL with 135 points and a 65-12-5 record heading into the playoffs, the team positioned as a buzzsaw on its way to a Stanley Cup.
Vegas likes Boston much more than the team in its backyard, the Las Vegas Golden Knights. Sportsbooks puts the Golden Knights with +1200 odds to win a title.

A Boston/Colorado Stanley Cup series would put a 2022-23 powerhouse against a recent title winner, and Vegas thinks it’d be the Bruins who would take the cake in that heated matchup.
No matter which way you slice it, Boston is veering toward another Stanley Cup. If you’re going to put down odds on an underdog, now’s the time.
